Following Monday's final presidential debate between Republican candidate Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama, what's left to influence voters between now and election day? An "October surprise" could be on the way from both sides of the race.

According to Politico, Donald Trump said that he'll reveal "very big" news about Pres. Obama but wouldn't elaborate further on what it would be.

"Something very, very big concerning the president of the United States," the "Celebrity Apprentice" show-runner told "Fox & Friends" on Monday. "It's going to be very big. I know one thing — you will cover it in a very big fashion."

Trump told TMZ that an announcement would be made around noon on Wednesday and that it could possibly impact the election.

Though he previously considered running for president himself, the billionaire endorsed former Gov. Mitt Romney earlier this year and has been a longtime critic of Obama. The White House released the Democrat's birth certificate last year after The Donald and other "birthers" claimed Obama was not born in the United States.

Trump's mysterious announcement could get competition from another "October surprise" news event, however, courtesy of high-profile lawyer Gloria Allred.

"Here she comes," The Drudge Report's Matt Drudge wrote. "Hearing Gloria Allred out there again, about to make a move. After all, it's her time of the campaign. Team O at the ready!"

She's refused to confirm it, but Slate reports Allred is expected to drop a bombshell about Romney and abortion. Breitbart points out that Obama's recent "Romnesia" attack may have taken the word from Mormon feminists who criticized the Republican years ago as being unable to recall specific details of his advice on abortion to female congregants.

Allred, who represented Bobby Davis and Mike Lang in accusations of sexual abuse against former Syracuse University assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine, is a supporter of Pres. Obama and was a delegate at the DNC in North Carolina last summer.

The Blaze points out that she's previously gone after Republicans more often than Democrats. Some of Allred's most famous clients include a woman who accused former Tea Party presidential candidate Herman Cain of sexual assault and a woman who claimed California GOP candidate Meg Whitman knowingly employed her as an illegal immigrant housekeeper, perhaps costing Whitman the election to Jerry Brown in 2010.

The 2012 presidential race has tightened over the past few weeks, so a surprise announcement could mean the difference in November. Polls on Monday had Romney and Obama in a dead heat among likely voters before the final debate.
